DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
■ A new drain hose is supplied with your dishwasher. If
drain hose is not long enough, use a new drain hose
with a maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m) that meets all
current AHAM/IAPMO test standards, is resistant to heat
and detergent, and fits the
1" (25 mm) drain connector of the dishwasher.
NOTE: Do not connect multiple drain hoses together.
■ Make sure to connect drain hose to waste tee or
disposer inlet above drain trap in house plumbing
and 20" (508 mm) minimum above the floor. It is
recommended that the drain hose either be looped up
and securely fastened to the underside of the counter or
be connected to an air gap.
■ Make sure to use an air gap if the drain hose is
connected to house plumbing lower than 20" (508 mm)
above subfloor or floor.
Use of air gap
■ If required, the air gap should be installed in accordance
with the air gap installation instructions. When you are
connecting the air gap, a rubber hose (not provided) will
be needed to connect to the waste tee or disposer inlet.
■ Use 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum I.D. drain line fittings.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
■ This dishwasher has a water heating feature and also
requires a connection to a hot water supply line.
■ A hot water line with 20 psi to 120 psi (138 kPa to 862
kPa) water pressure can be verified by a licensed
plumber.
■ 120°F (49°C) water at dishwasher.
■ 3/8" (0.95 cm) O.D. copper tubing with compression
fitting or flexible braided water supply line.
NOTE: 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum plastic tubing is not
recommended.
■ A 90° elbow with 3/4" (0.95 cm) hose connection with
rubber washer.
■ Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) of the water inlet valve.
■ If installed in new construction, make sure the
house water supply lines have been flushed prior to
connecting the dishwasher to remove any debris that
may exist in the supply line.
NOTE: If replacing an existing dishwasher, it is
recommended to install a new water line and drain hose
(supplied) with the new dishwasher.
